【Zhou Ye】The Foot of Time
Chapter 41
Even if I have sufficient mental preparation, my heart will still throb when I am ruthlessly reminded by time.
The most intuitive thing is age. After taking a souvenir from the Swiss watch master Lawrence’s house on a date, Ye Xiu casually said that Zhou Zekai was older than him. At this time, they asked each other, only to find that both of them were over 500 years old. age.Ye Xiu is not very good at calculating his own age, 500 or so can't give a specific number, but he can only know that the two are probably about the same age.
"I'm actually the same age as you..." Ye Xiu put his hands in his pockets, looked at the distant sky, and seemed to be missing something, "So when we meet in the future, I will be older than you? I've been calling you for so many years "Xiao Zhou", who is not worthy of the name, I can finally call you Xiaoli with confidence."
Zhou Zekai can't describe how it feels to be no longer young in front of Ye Xiu - it's like losing the right to pretend that you're still a child overnight, you should become more mature than the other person, and you should do the same .
The second most gaping thing is the relationship with the Ye family.
At first, I went to Ye Xiu's house to meet his family members and relatives - they had completely accepted Zhou Zekai, and there was no problem in getting along with him.Unconsciously, Zhou Zekai could see the scrutiny and embarrassment in the eyes of those distant relatives.He could only continue to give out red envelopes as before, and treat Ye Xiu better than before.
When he was able to proficiently snatch delicious tomatoes from the mutton hot pot for Ye Xiu, Zhou Zekai finally realized that he was recognized by the Ye family in the past largely because of his thoughtfulness and concern for Ye Xiu. These small details in life allow Ye Xiu's family to intuitively feel that their son is deeply loved, just like what Ye Xiu did when Zhou Zekai first came to this home.
The light and shadow of the past and present are distorted into a strange reappearance of yesterday, which rises and falls with the breath just like the name "Ye Xiu", sweet when inhaled into the lungs, painful when exhaled out of the body.
In contrast, dealing with Glory's group of people is much easier.After all, for this group of people, Zhou Zekai and Ye Xiu ran around in a mess in the timeline, and they have long been used to it—meeting the [-]-year-old Ye Xiu yesterday, seeing the [-]-year-old Ye Xiu today, and the day after tomorrow. Seeing the [-]-year-old Ye Xiu, such a situation is normal.So no matter how out of the ordinary they behave, honorable people can accept it with equanimity.
Of course, many of them, especially the higher-ups, knew about the reverse timeline.
At a party after the two of them once again resolved a tricky incident with the Glory people, Jiang Botao took two beers and sat in front of Zhou Zekai while Ye Xiu was being grabbed by Zhang Jiale to sing.
"I saw you yesterday, you were still young." Jiang Botao took a big gulp and wiped the froth from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, "You don't seem to know your situation, you don't even know that Ye Xiu will die. "
Zhou Zekai tightened his grip on the handle of the cup.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, you guys... just know what you have in mind." Jiang Botao, who realized he had said something wrong, quickly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, you said that the day when the United Nations officially announced the recognition of alien civilizations will be the next day. Yue, can you give me a spoiler? What happened, those stubborn guys at the United Nations had to tell everyone the truth? I heard Yu Wenzhou, Zhang Xinjie, and Xiao Shiqin discuss it the other day, saying that It’s absolutely necessary that the matter is so big that the governments of all countries can’t handle it, I think it makes sense. If you think about it this way, I guess nothing good happened, right? Could it be that the earth has been fully invaded?”
Although this group of people guessed well, Zhou Zekai could only shake his head: "I can't say."
"Okay, I probably have an idea." Jiang Botao spread his hands, "In short, we are ready, and hope that no matter what happens, we can minimize casualties. There are too many densely populated places in China..." He smiled wryly "Hey, you said that I'm an alien, but I'm already used to worrying about the Chinese people." He thumped Zhou Zekai's shoulder, "Speaking of which, I still want to thank you and Ye Xiu. You also became an advisor to Glory, and you persuaded Glory to hire him after Lao Han made an emergency landing on the earth, and introduced relevant rules and regulations for hiring alien life, and now we are the group of people—” He gestured for most of the time The non-human beings in the room said, "I don't know how it will end. Yu Wenzhou is still thinking about throwing Sun Zheping and Zhang Jiale into that honesty field for a test hahahaha!"
Zhou Zekai also raised the corners of his lips.In the background sound, Zhang Jiale sang surprisingly well.
But with a smile, Jiang Botao also felt melancholy: "...but this also means that we will have fewer chances to meet in the future, right?"
Zhou Zekai was startled.
"Ye Xiu said that not long after the earth officially recognized aliens, you stopped being a consultant. I think he meant that you can't meet after the timeline ends, so you can't..." He paused Paused, "But I always welcome you to come and play with me secretly when Ye Xiu is not in Shanghai, haha."
Looking at this long-time friend, Zhou Zekai suddenly felt Ye Xiu's feelings for the Ye family.He raised his glass and clinked it lightly with Jiang Botao.
"Will."
Jiang Botao turned the cup upside down in satisfaction, and then put the empty cup back on the table heavily: "Oh, but I still complain about it. When you got married, other people were just fine, and you didn't even invite me. What a shame! It's so embarrassing!"
Zhou Zekai hadn't experienced the wedding Ye Xiu mentioned, but he had proposed once himself, and it was valid, so he had to apologize: "Well... there, I can't get in." Zhou Zekai felt that if he told everyone , Hey, Ye Xiu and I are getting married, come on the day of the end of the world, everyone will definitely not follow.
At this time, there was a burst of booing from the other end, which attracted their attention.Several people surrounded Ye Xiu and put the microphone in his hand.Ye Xiu took the microphone, and his voice was amplified——
"Ah? How do you know that I proposed to Xiao Zhou? Why are you so well informed?"
"Don't worry about how we know. The wedding can be missed, but the proposal scene can't be missed. Everyone agrees, right?" Zhang Jiale directly stepped on the table to appeal to everyone to support him.As for people, they never take things too seriously, and Zhang Jiale immediately had a posture of responding to everyone's response.
"Yes, yes, propose again!"
"Come here once! Where's Zhou Zekai? Where did he hide?"
"I saw it! Jiang Botao, if you capture him, you can't miss the protagonist!"
"Don't worry, I've ordered all the songs for you."
"Sing! Sing! Sing!"
So Zhou Zekai was put in front of Ye Xiu like this, and he glanced at the playlist - the songs he ordered were all marriage proposal songs, most of them were in the style of "You Will Marry Me Today".
And Ye Xiu was still struggling: "Fuck, you guys speak English, what kind of song is this, I can't sing it!"
"Under Lord Grim's training, is there still a language that I don't know? And I listened to you humming this song before ordering it, so you can pretend to be you." Fang Rui rubbed his hands, as if Ye Xiu didn't agree. Just a posture of violent suppression.
"It's okay, I'll give you the song, and I'll accompany you to drive Lord Grim to other places for two or three days and learn it before coming back." Xiao Shiqin handed the phone to Ye Xiu with a smile, "I It's already downloaded, let's go."
"...I'll sing, can't I sing?" Up to this point, Ye Xiu knew he couldn't do it no matter how powerful he was.He could only hold the microphone, and raised the microphone with his left hand under everyone's onlookers.
Everyone pushed the selected song up, and then made room for the two of them.
The man who was still reluctant just now changed his appearance immediately when the prelude to the song started.He stared into Zhou Zekai's eyes, the tender love inside was as sweet as the lyrics he sang with trembling tongue: "I open my eyes I see your face (Open my eyes and see your face)
IcannothideIcan'terase (I feel like I have nowhere to hide)
Thewayyoumakemefeelinside (you touch my heart)
Youcompletememanthat'swhy (you completememanthat'swhy)"
Ye trimmed his hair, as if he wanted to make himself more handsome.
"Something about you makes me feel
Babymyheartwantstoreveal (babymyheartwantstoreveal)"
After singing this line, Ye Xiu suddenly knelt down on one knee amidst everyone's screams, took Zhou Zekai's hand with the hand that was not holding the microphone, and continued singing to him with a smile: "I'm down on my knees I'masking you ( I'm on my knees for asking this question)
Sothese three words Iwanna hear from you (I just want to hear the answer of those three words)”
He kisses lightly on the mic:
"YesIwill
Takeyourhandandwalkwithyou (hold your hand and walk with you)
YesIwill (I promise)
SothesethreewordsIpromiseto (I promise you in return)
YesIwill (I promise)
Giveyoueverythingyouneed (will give you everything you need)
Andsomedaystartafamilywithyou (and somedaystartafamilywithyou)"
At this point, Ye Xiu was finally pulled up by Zhou Zekai, who had already memorized the tune. The two faces leaned closer, sharing the same microphone, and sang the next line together: "Ohyes, I will (oh yes, I promise) )—"
The plan to have Ye Xiu sing ten songs to repeat the proposal failed in the end, because the first song was only halfway through, and they hugged each other amidst everyone's whistles.
"Kiss one!" Wei Chen shook a can of beer violently, and then "snapped" it open, a large amount of foam splashed out, replacing the cracker used for celebration.
Zhou Zekai kissed her without hesitation.
very sweet.When the day of Ye Xiu's proposal comes, it will definitely be a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times sweeter than this.
At this moment, Zhou Zekai felt that he was so happy that he owned the whole universe, just like every happy person.
